Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
Sealant applicators in Stichill
On a commercial site, sealant turns up in more places than people expect: around sanitaryware, along worktops and splashbacks, at window boards, partition heads and floor junctions. Outside, it closes facade joints, frame perimeters and movement joints against the weather. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike. We work on washrooms and tea points, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
- What the building is and how it’s used
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved, and we clear our waste as we work. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Stichill. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Stichill
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
A lasting commercial joint around Stichill begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How joint depth will be controlled
Why act early in Stichill
It can be tempting to hold sealant work back until the next refurbishment. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Stichill. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What you get with us
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- One contact handling all your sites

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Stichill
Stichill is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. We plan external frontages and frames around that
If you run a unit on an estate such as Rosewood Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles south-east of Stichill, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.

Stichill: questions and answers
Can the sealant on our Stichill premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Stichill outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How do we get a quote?
Send photographs, drawings or a list of locations. If a visit is needed we will book one, and a fixed quote follows.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
It’s mostly about sequence: we agree access windows, phase the work and keep enough facilities open. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan the job around it.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Every scrap of failed sealant is removed before the new bead goes on. A bead laid on old silicone peels away.
